Start with a plan. Think about what items you need most often, and which are unnecessary. Which items should be nearer to each other? Which should be closer to the shipping area?

Mark everything. Where should that trash can always stay? Mark it. Become a neutral observer and walk through your facility -- where are the most likely collision points? Which passageways tend to get blocked? What are the safety hazards?

Document and store your plan. Consider taking photographs of the layout and flow lines, etc. Conduct an annual review of the plan and revise and correct as needed.
